Faces are Deceptive!!!



How innocent people appear when they meet
They are all sugar when they greet

The first look and you start trusting them
After years you realize they are not a gem

Reality bites!! By then it's too late
You thought he/she was your soul mate

With convenience you were deceived
You could not have actually perceived

By the time you realize there is no going back
The courage to retaliate and spell out you lack

So never judge a book by its cover
Read all the pages till it is over

Remember faces in reality are deceptive
Ponder over the moves and be receptive
